How Different Roles Shape Strong B2B Relationships


Listen Later

What does working in a fast-paced restaurant actually have to do with B2B client success? More than you'd think.

In this episode of MindVerse, we sit down with Vanessa Andreevska — a client success professional with over 8 years of experience across some of the most dynamic, people-first environments out there. From navigating the high-pressure world of hospitality to holding multiple client-facing roles at Slice — including Account Manager, Onboarding Specialist, and Retention Specialist — Vanessa has built her career by truly understanding what it means to show up for clients at every stage of the relationship.

But that's not all. Vanessa also has a background as a News Anchor, and in this conversation, we explore how that experience connects to the world of Customer Success in ways you might not expect.

We dig into the real, behind-the-scenes work of B2B relationship building — the kind that doesn't always get talked about enough. What does it actually take to onboard a client well? How do you retain someone who's on the fence? And how do the skills you build in one role quietly prepare you for the next one?

Whether you're already working in Account Management, Customer Success, or Onboarding — or you're just starting to explore these paths — this episode is packed with honest, practical insight from someone who has lived it across multiple roles and industries.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How the restaurant industry builds skills that translate directly into B2B client success
  • What it's like to move through Account Management, Onboarding, and Retention — and what each role teaches you
  • Why Retention is one of the most underestimated functions in any B2B business
  • The link between being on camera as a News Anchor and showing up confidently in professional client settings
  • Advice for anyone looking to break into or grow within Customer Success
  • This is a conversation about careers, relationships, adaptability — and what it really means to put the client first.

    🎧 Tune in, take notes, and come ready to think differently about the roles that shape great client success professionals.
